I would say that my experience with the Department of Labor’s PAID program was an awesome experience because not only was I able to make the corrections I needed to make, I also learned a lot and was also able to pass along what I learned to others. Ms. Alonso, Employer, Local Government
Before this self-audit, I was always doing paperwork on my own time and doing extra travel on my own dime. Now my employer has corrected that and I am being paid for all of it. The back wage check came at very crucial time for me. Ms. Hamel, Employee, Non-Profit
